Tech Events at Spektrix, Manchester

An evening of talks, networking and community-building hosted at Spektrix's Manchester office on Deansgate. Queer in Tech runs a consistently well-organised programme that pairs genuine technical and career content with a room that is easier to walk into than most. Open to allies as well. Free, with limited places. Manchester's tech community is one of the more active in the UK outside London, and this is among its steadier recurring meetups.

Dot Net North hosts Martin Thwaites, Developer Advocate at Honeycomb, for a deep dive on OpenTelemetry Weaver. Martin brings 20+ years of .NET experience and specialises in observability at scale. The session covers treating telemetry as a proper engineering artifact — semantic convention registries, type-safe code generation, CI policy checks, and Live Check verification against running applications. Sponsored by Microsoft, JetBrains and Uno Platform. Free, with refreshments.
